Vendramini Elephant Boots
Vendramini Elephant Boots Vendramini makes some very interesting motorcycle boots, no doubt about it. If you need proof, just take a look at the Vendramini “Desert Alp” Elephant boots shown here.

2013 Falco Boots
2013 Falco Boots Falco Boots for 2013 Falco is probably one of the lesser-known motorcycle boot manufacturers — and that’s too bad. The Italian company’s products are very nicely made and they have many stylish designs. The quality is excellent and several webBikeWorld evaluators wear Falco boots quite often for a variety of two-wheeled adventures. …
Tourmaster Response SC Boots Review
Tourmaster Response SC Road Boots The Tourmaster Response SC boots have all the important stylistic and functional features of the recent crop of low-cut, short motorcycle boots, but at a slightly lower cost.

Sidi Gossip Shoes Review
Hangout Street Shoes for Motorcyclists The Sidi Gossip street shoes are comfortable for all-around messing about off the bike. They allow you to fly your motorcyclist colors rather than pay homage to Nike, Adidas, etc. The Gossip shoes aren’t really designed for running, hiking or trekking. They’re for relaxing. And in that regard, they score. …
TCX S-R1 Boots Review
Super Sport for the Street The TCX S-R1 boots are a “hypersport” street version of the TCX racing boots. A Gore-Tex membrane is included to make the boots waterproof and the S-R1 boots are also CE certified to EN13634. Paired with the built-in safety features and reasonable price, these boots are a winner. My apologies, …

Work Boot Style With CE Certs The TCX X-Blend boots combine a classic leather work boot look and feel with CE certified protection.

Sidi All-Road Gore-Tex Boots Review
All Roads Conquered With the All Road Boots The Sidi All Road Gore-Tex boots were designed to replace the venerable and popular Sidi On Road boots (review).

Sidi Mag-1 Boots Review
Sidi Mag-1 Motorcycle Boots The new Sidi Mag-1 boots are top-of-the-line race boots loaded with technology and new features. They’re sort of a slimmed-down evolution of the Sidi Vortice boots (review) but made lighter (claimed 17%), much easier to wear and they’re also very comfortable, even for street use. New features include a redesigned “Tecno-3” ratcheting micrometric …
Dainese Long Range D-WP C2 Boots Review
Dainese Long Range D-WP C2 Boots Review A high-quality pair of street/touring boots that are a good value even at its price point.

Aeromoto Dry Tour Boots Review
Aeromoto Dry Tour Waterproof Motorcycle Boots A better than expected waterproof boot for the price. Motorcycle footwear choices. I think newer riders may not appreciate the wide variety of boots (and shoes) we have today that are made specifically for motorcycle riders. It wasn’t too long ago that the only choice you’d have to make …
RS Taichi RSS006 Drymaster Riding Shoes Review
RS Taichi RSS006 Drymaster Boa Motorcycle Riding Shoes The RS Taichi RSS006 Drymaster Boa Riding Shoes are a good mixture of form and function.

Tourmaster Response 2.0 WP Road Boots
Tourmaster Response 2.0 WP Road Boots A comfortable and reasonably protective boot that is a real sleeper when it comes to bang for the buck. But, are they really waterproof? When it comes to riding gear, my boots get the most use. I often commute to work on my bike and when I get there, …
Sidi Traffic Air Boots Review
Sidi “Traffic Air” Boots Review The Sidi Traffic Air boots are the fully perforated version of the Sidi Traffic Rain boots. They include two useful features and also something rather interesting that we discovered. First, they’re “user friendly” due to the simple side entry zipper. And the combination of perforated sides and thin liner give …

VQuattro Milano Paperboy Boots Review
VQuattro “Milano Paperboy” Motorcycle Boots Next in our brief overview of the new VQuattro motorcycle footwear is a look at the Milano Paperboy boots.

VQuattro San Remo Boots Review
VQuattro “San Remo” Motorcycle Boots webBikeWorld regulars know we’re big fans of VQuattro products.

Sidi Adventure Gore-Tex Boots Review
Sidi Adventure Gore-Tex Dual-Sport Boots Review The Sidi Adventure Gore-Tex boots are the top of the Sidi Adventure-Touring boot lineup. They’re a quality piece of riding gear and they’re not inexpensive, but serious riders may discover that these boots will probably outlast lesser types. The height of the Adventure Gore-Tex boots doesn’t work on my …
Dainese Dyno C2b Shoes Review

Sidi Nitro Boots Review
Sidi “Nitro” Boots Review The Sidi Nitro boots are comfortable and good-looking.

Gaerne Off-Road Boots Review
Gaerne GX-1, SG10 and SG12 Motocross/Off-Road Boots Review There is no denying the purpose of these three pairs of Gaerne boots.

Gaerne understands the requirements needed by both serious motocross to …
Sidi Armada Boots Review
Sidi “Armada” Boots Review The Sidi Armada Gore-Tex Boot is “two boots in one”. The boots feature an upper ankle support system that can be removed, which converts the boots from adventure touring to street or sport use. A Gore-Tex liner keeps out the water and a heavy-duty sole provides traction. It’s an interesting concept, …
TCX X-Cube Boots Review
TCX “X-Cube” Waterproof Boots The TCX X-Cube boots are available in waterproof and “Air” versions. These are comfortable mid-height boots with a short-boot look. But they provide more protection than many shorter motorcycle boots, especially around the ankles.

Dainese Asphalt Shoes Review
Built-in Spats for Asphalt Style The Dainese Asphalt shoes are comfortable, stylish and comfortable. But, wide feet may not fit.

Vitesse Boots
Vitesse “Glove” Motorcycle Boots Review The Vitesse Glove motorcycle boots are outstanding. They are built to a very high standard of design and quality and they don’t look like every other sports boot on the market For the serious motorcyclist, the balance between protection and style/comfort is always hard to get right. Everyone’s seen foolhardy …
American Made Boots
Thorogood American Made Boots These Thorogood American Heritage Signature series hiking boots are not motorcycle boots. They are, however, extremely comfortable, with soft “broken-in” leather and a cushy sole. The surprise is that they are also Union-made in the U.S.A. I frequently get emails from webBikeWorld visitors asking if I know of any motorcycle gear that is …
Falco Mixto Boots
Falco “Mixto” Motorcycle Boots Review The new Falco Mixto boots combine street and adventure-touring style with a waterproof membrane at an excellent price point.

Alpinestars Roam Boots Review
Waterproof Boots for Riding and Roaming Waterproof for sure, but not the easiest boot to live with. In the past I have extolled the virtues of Alpinestars boots, in particular the Alpinestars Recon Boots (review). As good as those boots are, they are not ideal for cold-weather riding. The problem — if you want to call …
Alpinestars CR-4 Gore-Tex XCR Boots Review
Cool-Looking Gore-Tex Boots The Alpinestars CR-4 Gore-Tex XCR boots are brand new for Fall 2011. First announced in the summer of 2011, the boots are just now available for sale.

BMW Santiago Boots Review
BMW Santiago Boots Review The BMW Santiago boots are typically classified as an Adventure Touring boot, but don’t let the moniker fool you; they can do more — far more. Understated traditional styling hides most of the boots strengths and capabilities until they are worn and used. The Santiago boots are supremely comfortable with hard-to-beat …
Falco 480 Raid Boots Review
Falco 480 “Raid” Boots Review Style, protection, function and comfort are key descriptors that come to mind when assessing the Falco 480 RAID motorcycle boots. Getting in and out of the boots via two strategically-placed straps and large over-flap couldn’t be easier. These boots reflect the high standards maintained by Falco and will undoubtedly provide …
Sidi ST Boots Review
Sidi ST Boots Review The new Sidi ST and ST Air boots provide high levels of protection with ease of use. The entry and security system developed for the ST boots is easier to use for street or sport riding than the entry system found on the Sidi Vortice boots (review). Sidi quality and features abound, …
Gaerne GRS Motorcycle Boots
Gaerne GRS Motorcycle Boots Review The Gaerne GRS boots have a cumbersome entry system but the boots are comfortable once they’re on. Gaerne is not one of the most widely recognized names in motorcycle boots, at least in the U.S.A. But you may recognize some of their sponsored racers. The list includes Makoto Tamada (MotoGP); …
